How it works

The GOSH City Criterium is a team race meaning team work and tactics will be crucial. Here's what to expect:

  • Four riders per team - for mixed teams there will be a second classification category.

  • Plus one Pro Rider - each team will be allocated a pro rider as part of your team entry.

  • Teams must select one rider to take part in a virtual qualification race - results of the qualification will determine the start grid for the final.

  • The final will be a team race with relay style exchanges.

  • Teams must exchange all four corporate riders within the first 60 minutes of racing.

  • Teams can choose how long each rider will race - stronger riders can do longer turns. Team tactics will be crucial to make sure you pace the effort of each rider across the time.

  • After 60 minutes teams will exchange to their pro rider the next time they pass the pit lane. The pro riders will race the final 10 laps.

  • The final result will be determined by the total number of laps completed by each team and their finish position on their final lap.

What your ticket includes:

  • Team entry for four riders

  • Pro rider allocated to your team. (We will be hosting an auction before the event where teams can choose to bid for their preferred pro rider.)

  • Access to rider enclosure and hospitality area

  • Complimentary food and drinks served throughout the day

  • Access to training events and resources
